Note: Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is providing a total of $300 million to U.S. states, U.S. territories and the District of Columbia to establish rebate programs for new energy-efficient appliances that replace existing appliances in homes. Each state and territory has designed its own program. Rebates will be available until the state or territory program's funding is exhausted. Be sure to confirm that rebate funds are still available in your state or territory before making purchasing decisions.

The City of Fort Lauderdale is offering rebates to homeowners for energy efficiency measures and solar technologies. Residents can receive a 50% rebate up to $1,000 for solar or gas water heaters, solar panels, HVAC systems, windows, doors, and insulation. Solar panels used to heat swimming pools are not eligible for the rebate program.

In order to qualify, applicants must first obtain an FPL Energy Service and submit the completed report along with an application, available on the program web site. Funding is distributed on a first-come first-served basis until the funds have been exhausted.
